Making A Personal Injury Claim
Legal Expert has years of experience in the industry, and our solicitors can help you to secure compensation after an accident or injury that wasn’t your fault. We will assign you to the best personal injury solicitors for your case. We will conduct a free consultation over the phone to ask some questions about your case.
Are you eligible for compensation? To help you determine whether this is the case, you need to ask yourself three key questions, which are as follows:
- Did the defendant owe you a duty of care?
- Was this duty of care breached?
- Did the breach cause you to become ill or sustain an injury?
If you can answer yes to all three questions, then you may have the basis for a successful compensation claim.
It is important to note that the time limit in most cases is three years. This means you will have three years from the date of the accident to claim. However, there are some exceptions to this rule. We can discuss this further when you call.
Needless to say, the sooner you claim, the easier it will be. The details will be fresh in your mind, and it will be easier to gather useful supporting evidence.
Choosing The Best Personal Injury Solicitors For Brighton Accident Claims
The Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) does regulate all solicitors in the UK. However, this does not mean that all law professionals provide the same level of service. This highlights the importance of choosing with care, especially when you consider the impact that this person is going to have on your recovery and indeed the rest of your life.
Does The Location Of The Solicitor Matter?
No matter where in the UK you are based, you will have the freedom to choose any personal injury solicitor you wish. It doesn’t matter if you’re working with personal injury solicitors in Brighton or someone based elsewhere; the main thing is to find an experienced solicitor who can represent you.
We can even organise your independent medical assessment locally to you. This means that you can choose the solicitor you feel suits you best based on any factors you deem important.
What Compensation Cases Does Legal Expert Handle?
Our personal injury solicitors have years of dedicated experience handling all types of accident and injury claims. Here are some of the areas our solicitors specialise in:
Workplace accidents
Your employer owes you a duty of care under the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974, they need to take steps that are reasonably practicable to keep you safe at work.
Workplace injuries can result from flips and falls, inadequate training, and even faulty machinery and/or equipment.
Slip, Trip And Fall Accidents
Slips, trips, and falls are incredibly common throughout the country. In most cases, your claim will be made against the organisation or individual that is responsible for the area where you fell, tripped or slipped. This kind of accident can cause broken bones, lacerations, dislocations and other injuries.
Public Place Accidents
You can still make a claim if your injury was sustained in a public place. For example, you could trip and fall because of a loose paving stone in the street. The council is responsible for maintaining these areas, so not doing so could be considered negligence. In this instance, your claim would need to be made against the council itself.
Road Traffic Accidents
Whether you were the driver, passenger, or even a pedestrian, you could still make a claim if another road user’s breach of duty caused your injuries.
Everyone using the road to travel must obey the Highway Code. If they deviate from these rules then it is likely a breach of their duty of care to other road users and you could make a claim against them if you are injured as a result.
If you’re looking for personal injury solicitors for Brighton specialising in road traffic accidents, get in touch today.
Connect With Personal Injury Solicitors For Brighton Accidents Or Injuries
If you’re eligible to connect with one of our personal injury solicitors for Brighton accidents, you could be offered a specific type of No Win No Fee agreement known as a Conditional Fee Agreement (CFA).
While under a CFA:
- There are no upfront solicitor fees.
- There are no ongoing solicitor fees.
- There are no solicitor fees if your case fails.
Instead, if your case is successful, a small percentage, which is legally capped, will be deducted from your compensation. This is called the success fee.
If you feel like this type of agreement would be best for you, contact us today to find out whether you can connect with one of our No Win No Fee solicitors for Brighton.
